On the heels of yet another vastly successful Five Crazy Things blog entry (they’re called CRAZY things for a reason, folks), here are five more crazy things that actually happened… and a note on if it’s a fluke or potential trend.

1. Ryan Grant appears to be a very capable fantasy RB. This one sure could be a fluke. He averaged 5.5 ypc against a Brown defense which ranks second-to-last in the league. He’ll face a tough Viking front seven this week, and still has Baltimore and Pittsburgh on the schedule too. There’s a good share of cupcakes left, but don’t hesitate to bench the guy against the tougher Ds.

2. Alex Smith is BACK, here to stay, and will be a viable fantasy QB moving forward. As much as I’d like to say this was just a fluke, I’m not so sure. The guy has been a complete disappointment in his first few seasons, but honestly, who has he had to throw to? He’s got an ultra-talented TE (who could be on the verge of a big breakout himself), an ultra-talented rookie WR (ditto) and a couple of other nice cogs (the pass-catching RB Frank Gore, WRs Josh Morgan and Ike Bruce). Smith faces the stout IND pass D this week, but then the schedule softens considerably, with games against TEN, ARI, SEA, DET and STL.

3. Dallas could keep winning games… as long as Tony Romo and Miles Austin continue this symbiotic relationship. Not so sure on this one. They were coming off a bye week, at home, and the Falcons’ D could be a tad over-rated. Let’s see if America’s Team can keep it up against a pretty weak Seattle squad, cuz Weeks 9 and 10 will be big tests in Philly and at Lambeau.

4. Beanie Wells, the new starting RB for the Cards? Probably a fluke or wishful thinking. He still is a liability in pass coverage and you know, the Cards kinda like to pass a bit. Still, he’ll have some value, especially if the Cards go up on their opponent and they want to control the ball with the run. Feel free to give him a run this week against Carolina’s #26-ranked rush D.

5. Devin Hester’s 100+ yard receiving games could continue. Definitely not a fluke. He had one game at 90 yards and another of 83. One more catch in each of those and he’d be over 100. CLE, ARI and SFO on the docket in the next 3 weeks. There’s gotta be a 100+ yarder mixed in there somewhere.
